Arizona lawmakers propose a bill requiring annual firearm safety lessons for K-12 students, focusing on safe storage, what to do if a child finds a gun, and the dangers of handling one. The classes, starting in the 2027-2028 school year, will be delivered through videos, assemblies, or class time, with no hands-on training allowed. The bills sponsor, State Senator Wendy Rogers, argues its necessary due to gun injuries being the top cause of death for children. However, educators criticize it as an unfunded mandate, urging lawmakers to fund schools instead of adding rules. The measure has passed the Senate and is now in the House for a final vote, sparking debate over school safety and priorities in Arizona.
